The number of different grounds for challenging the provision is large from what I've read.

The key issue, as I understand it, is whether government can impose a tax or penalty for merely "existing". The very best you can say is that we don't know how the Court would rule on it.

And it is distinguished from the car insurance situation by the fact that you aren't required to buy car insurance simply because you exist.
